The Anxious Generation

Description

Are smartphones, social media, and gaming harming our kids?  Jonathan Haidit's The Anxious Generation argues that a "great rewiring of childhood" has led to an epidemic of youth mental illness.  This event will explore the mechanisms behind this crisis and, most importantly, engage in a hopeful, action-oriented conversation for our school community.  Discover practical steps we can take, individually and collectively, to restore a healthier, freer childhood for the next generation.
